The Okotoks Oilers are taking an off day Thursday, April 19, in their AJHL final series with the Spruce Grove Saints.

They managed to stay alive in the series with a 4-1 win Tuesday, April 17 in Spruce Grove, but still trail in the best of seven series three games to one.

The key to success for the Oilers is in the need for them to score early and first.

If the Saints get the early lead they play a suffocating defence that makes things tough on the fast skating Oilers.

They hit the ice Friday, April 20 at 7 o'clock at the Pason Centennial Arena.
